Canzoni Di Natale - What Christmas Means To Me lyrics

(Anna Gaye, Allen Story and George Gordy)

When the Christmas time draws near

We think of joys and Christmas cheer

Of Santa with his reindeer and his sleigh

But long ago, we should recall,

The Bethlehem Babe was born for all

To show the world the life, the truth, the way

The spirit of Christmas

Is the spirit of Love

It's something that you cannot buy,

It's something from above

The presents that you give and get

Are nothing but a token

For if they don't come filled with love,

The Christmas spirit's broken

Just singing Christmas carols and

Just ringing Jingle Bells

Means nothing if you do not know

The story that it tells

So, 'midst the din and tinsel as you

Trim the Christmas tree

Let a newborn love enfold you

Embrace you, uphold you;

That's the true idea of Christmas

That's what Christmas means to me
